Package: valgrind Version: 1:3.2.3-1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
I've been debugging some arm and alpha bugs in a program of mine, and it turned out that the problem was an int memory access at an unaligned location. arm does not trap it and silently produces a wrong result, making it pretty nasty to find the problem. It would be interesting to have a valgrind tool that checked and reported unaligned int accesses: this would give me a chance of trapping these kinds of problems early while doing development on my amd64 machine. I'm not sure it makes sense, but with something that can trace memory accesses like valgrind, the unaligned ones look like they were potentially very easy to catch.
